Because we know that healthy lifestyles are achieved through nurturing mind, body and spirit, well-being and fitness at the Y is so much more than just working out.

At the YMCA, children and adults are taught to value their health and honor their bodies. Every day, we impact the lives of our members and participants by helping them achieve their health and wellness goals through a variety of programs.

Everyone can benefit from a personal trainer — the beginner who is unfamiliar with exercise equipment, the individual who needs extra motivation and structure, the experienced fitness enthusiast who is not getting their intended results or the elite athlete looking to gain a competitive edge! Our certified trainers will design a program tailored to your needs. Our trainers motivate you and monitor your progress to ensure that your fitness program is safe, progressive, and effective.
